Mixed vegetable palak gravy recipe

April 5, 2017 by Raks Anand 19 Comments / Jump to Recipe

vegetable-palak-gravy-recipe
Mixed vegetable palak is made by adding your favorite veg in palak gravy. Palak paneer is most popular palak based gravy, but I am loving this vegetable palak these days as it’s great alternate for paneer.

I had long time wish to try Diwani Handi like we get in Kailash pharbat. It is so rich, delicious and flavourful side dish. Usually I somehow guess the ingredients in a dish served at restaurants. This was really bit complicated to guess. I searched in the same name as Diwani handi in the internet, but nothing was convincing to match the taste.

So I decided why not try making in palak paneer style. I didn’t want to do in the same style gravy (palak base gravy). So tried bit different from the usual palak gravy. This one is without tomatoes. I have used curd in place of tomato. Other than my mutter paneer, I don’t like to add curd in the gravies. But I thought curd in this gravy should go well.

And it turned out really yummy. Aj loved this a lot. We all enjoyed this gravy with the other items as you have seen in my Lunch menu 61.

Notes

    I tried this today and by far the best I made from your recipes. I used ghee instead of butter so the dish was quite rich.
